Carter calls for funding Palestinians

Just wanted to ask, when have you heard Carter deny Christ and the Bible? You are talking about Carter aren't you. I thought that he was a Christian?? Of course I am not judge of whether he is or not. That is between him and God. Only God knows our hearts. As for the 'idiot' thing, what if he is a Christian and has been called an 'idiot'! Which means 'fool'

 

By the way I am not saying I agree with Carter, nor did I like him as President.But refuse to call him a fool and say that God agrees, we do not know what God thinks of Carter.

 

No, but we know what the Palis think of us, and to try and work with them, while they hold their stance, is foolishness.

 

Have you read anything he has written?

 

Money often times does as lot of good to bring some peace. The US does it all the time. As long as a country depends on another it will not go to war against them.

 

Are you suggesting we give them money to appease them ?

Not me, Not one cent goes to them, until they drop the hateful rhetoric.

 

We are getting no return on this investment and have no prospects of getting one unless we turn on Israel and get out of the way of the spread of Islam.

 

I heard someone take this in great detail one time concerning his method of leadership.

Carter fundamentally believes that any and all problems can be resolved by talking. He has limited capacity to understand those value their beliefs and principles (right or wrong) over peace. His belief in the fundamental "goodness" of man prevents him from recognizing that some people, ideals, and causes are genuinely evil.

 

BTW, the class was for managers and was not partisan in nature. The instructor was simply using Presidents as examples of different types of leaders as to where they are effective and where they are not.

Carter wouldn't make a good CEO either.

 

Carter is a dupe.

Through the UN, we have supported many nations that eventually became hostile to us.

Politically speaking, Hamas is the fire ant mound of the world. We can either poison the mound, or carefully guard against its spread. Carter can go sit on it if he wants, but I don't want my hindquarters getting bitten.

These folks hate our country, our system, our Christianity, and our policies. They will take our money and spit on us. Jimmy Carter is unable to see that.

It's not my job to determine Carter's spiritual status. But I do think he was a very ineffective leader.

 

Ken,

Jimmy Carter was one of the smartest presidents we have ever had.

Whenever I get tempted to agree with this statement, I think of his kissing Brezhnev and his decrying the "inordinate fear of Communism". It's one thing to not inordinately fear Communism and take them on and recognize it as evil as Reagan did; it's another to be a wimp.

Yeah, as an engineer on a nuclear submarine, maybe intelligence translated into being an effective officer. Einstein probably wouldn't have been a good President. OK, Carter was a smart person sitting in the office, that doesn't make him a smart President.

 

Intelligent in the pure sense... wasn't he a nuclear engineer or something in the navy?

Intelligence however does not equal wisdom... he is almost devoid of the latter.

We do know, however, that he is alligned with the CBF which split with the SBC over the issue of inerrancy. I did, however, also find this quote about the Apostle Paul:

There is certainly quite a bit to object to about his unbiblical support for gay rights and abortion, and yes, even continuing to fund hamas. But, to be fair, there have been some good things about Carter as well. He is real good at building houses for poor people which is a good thing. Unfortunately, the negatives with Carter far outweigh the positives in my mind and make him not only a horrible president when he was in office, but an even worse ex-president.

Most very good leaders are not always that smart. But they are able to win people. That takes wisdom and not just smarts.

 

Gaining a following is not an indication of wisdom. Some prime examples would be Jim Jones, Pat Robertson, OBL, Hamas, and Adolph Hitler.
